An overview of Dominican Republic's geography and history, along with an exploration of the political, economic, and cultural landscape of this Caribbean island nation. Formerly a Spanish colony, the Dominican Republic gained independence in the mid-1800s. Ruled largely by dictators since then, the nation has achieved some form of representational government since the late 1990s. This edition includes comprehensive text with strong curriculum ties, beautiful full-color photography throughout, and interesting, detailed sidebars.
